Undo the redirect so that a general article on the broader topic area can be written. The redirect is incaccurate since not all Fringe theories involve science. There are Fringe theories in just about ever accademic discipline. Fringe theories can also include pop-culture items such as conspiracy theories and urban ledgends.

Judging by the text at the top of this page, anyone is welcome to simply edit the redirect page in order to create an article (and this entry is not needed). Johnuniq (talk) 02:41, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WITHDRAWN BY NOMINATOR - I see now that I did not need to post the redirect here in order to write an article about it (it is not locked). I shall do so. Thanks. Blueboar (talk) 14:54, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Electric Park

The result of the discussion was Keep and make into a disambiguation page. I think that this would be the best option available to us, as the title can refer to any number of parks, after taking a glance at B. Wind's work. Killiondude (talk) 20:28, 30 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion recommended. Tucson Electric Park was never referred to as "Electric Park." Electric Park is most widely known as the name of dozens of amusement parks in the early 20th Century (the original target of this redirect is to an article that mentions it cursorily as a former site of one of those Electric Parks. Electric Parks, White City parks, and Luna Parks were a significant part of U.S. entertainment history, and each of these ultimately needs its own article. A redirect at Electric Park is clearly insufficient. 207.244.179.110 (talk) 16:09, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment, to clarify, I'd like to leave the current redirect, Electric Park, as is, due to its prominence in search results. I propose that we place the amusement park disambiguation in the header of the TEC article. –blurpeace (talk) 21:01, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note. As stated above, I am "incubating" an Electric Park list article in my userspace with the help of a couple of people. I have not "chimed in" on this entry as I believe it to be a conflict of interest for me, but as the time approaches in which I could push the proposed list article into articlespace, I need to "speak up" now.

The current redirect is about as useful as having Walker Bush redirecting to George Walker Bush as NO ONE refers to Tucson Electric Park as "Electric Park." Restoring the earlier target (to Vailsburg, Newark) would be misleading as it implies that the Newark Electric Park was the only one, rather than acknowledging that there have been DOZENS of electric parks. So a redirect is not worth keeping here. A dab page is not an option here as there are only two articles with fleeting mentions of Electric Parks (the other is List of baseball parks in San Antonio, Texas); and a list article is a far better option.

Deletion of the redirect is the superior option as it will allow me to move the list article from userspace to articlespace without having to involve the action of an admin or WP:RM, and I ask my fellow editors and the closing admin to consider this while this discussion continues. If this is closed as "keep," the list article would require a filing in WP:RM unless there is an admin who would be unwilling to overrule "consensus" in the case regarding the redirect.

Real America

The result of the discussion was delete. Killiondude (talk) 07:13, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating for deletion. This was originally created because Sarah Palin has referred to parts of the US as "Real America". The problem, as can be seen from the history, is that it's a term you can't really redirect properly without it being POV. America, Joe the Plumber, Red state, Union (American Civil War) have all been tried as targets. There just simply isn't a way to make it correct or POV. Besides, would anyone actually search by this term? The only link to this article (until I fixed it) was actually about a soccer club, not anything involving the target(s).

The result of the discussion was moot as I have overwritten the redirect with a disambiguation page (non-admin close). B.Wind (talk) 16:00, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unlikely redirect. "Bang's" isn't even close to "Barq's". Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many ottersOne batOne hammer) 03:30, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
